Franklin’s Tower reopens Monday

Franklin’s Tower in downtown Albany, which had said earlier this month on Facebook that it was closed to “discuss renovations,” in fact was replacing its sprinklers and fire-extinguishing system. Owner Patrick Hall tells me the sprinkler heads were at least 50 years old.

The restaurant reopens Monday (4/22) in time for Downtown Albany restaurant Week. Its Restaurant Week menu is here.

We ate at Franklin’s Tower last night (8/10), for the first time in many years.

The food was quite edible, but not much to write home about. Though the menu is pretty much the same as on the Web, the waitress said the Web site didn’t apply to the place as now run. That was certainly shown to be true with regard to wines; they only have about half a dozen, and available by glass only.

All in all, the restaurant was not impressive and didn’t have many customers. Perhaps they’re making it go on lunchtime business from the Republicans in the Legislature, as suggested in one of Steve’s earlier postings.
